DAWC Rally, at Derry's war memorial in The Diamond, marking the anniversary of Israel's assault on Gaza. Gaza Still Under Siege "The position the convoy has been placed in is disgraceful. The DAWC is proud of the effort we put in to buy and fill the ambulance and of our five Derry representatives who are with the convoy. The people of Derry can be proud of the support they gave us in our fund raising for the convoy over the past six months. We want to ensure now that the people of Gaza receive the aid which has been sent from Derry as from towns and cities all over these islands and further afield."

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3Excellent! Well done all in the Derry Anti-War Coalition for organising this.
Derry Anti-War Coalition will be holding a candlelit vigil for Gaza in the Diamond at 4pm on Thursday 31st. All supporters in the north west urged to attend.
The purposes of the vigil are: to show solidarity with the Viva Palestina convoy, in which five men sponsored by the DAWC are taking part; to protest against the continuing vicious siege of Gaza by Israel with Egyptian, US and EU connivance; and to commit ourselves in 2010 to campaign for the boycott of Israeli goods and the withdrawal of investment supported by, among many, many others, the Irish Congress of Trades Unions.
Derry Anti-War Coalition
